Process exits without reading anything from chat.

[XcomReborn]

I am trying to connect to a chat room and simply read the messages using the example code.

using KickLib.Interfaces;
using KickLib;
using KickLib.Client.Interfaces;
using KickLib.Client.Models.Args;
using KickLib.Client;

Console.WriteLine("Starting!");

IKickApi kickApi = new KickApi();

var userName = "xereborn";

var channelInfo = await kickApi.Channels.GetChannelInfoAsync(userName);

Console.WriteLine (channelInfo.Chatroom.Id);

IKickClient client = new KickClient();

client.OnMessage += delegate (object sender, ChatMessageEventArgs e)
{
    Console.WriteLine(e.Data.Content);
};

await client.ListenToChatRoomAsync(channelInfo.Chatroom.Id);

await client.ConnectAsync();

Console.WriteLine("Exiting...");

However this just exits immediately, am I doing something wrong?

Your example seems correct @XcomReborn. The reason why it exits immediately is that listening is non-blocking. You need to run this code as background task and keep your console up and running, or add some blocking calls to avoid application exit.

Try adding infinite loop after await client.ConnectAsync() line. Something like:

while(true) 
{
   await Task.Delay(500);
}
